Job description
A warm and welcoming family seek a live-out career nanny/governess to support their three children aged 8, 5 and 3.5yrs. The schedule could either be a few hours after school, Monday through Friday, or could be full-time if the governess was open to starting around noon. Either way, the day will end around 7.30 or 8pm.
This will be a busy role supporting the health, well-being and happiness of the children, and will involve a tag-team approach to care, as Mum works from home. For the part-time position, candidates will be responsible for supporting the children with their homework, helping with preparation for future tests (11+), and with getting their youngest ready for school and the workload that is likely to come with that. For the full-time position, candidates should be able to help with keeping the children's areas tidy and organised, making sure uniforms etc are ready for the next day, scheduling playdates and activities, and preparing for the children's arrival home. Nurturing their curiosity and creativity, and generally being a wonderful, calming but positive influence in their lives is also crucial. The ideal candidate is friendly, engaging, and gentle, and is familiar with all that London has to offer families. A warm, fun disposition is essential and it would definitely be helpful if candidates are organised and active. Please be consistent, reliable, 3 steps ahead at all times and completely un-phased at managing the hectic schedules of 3 young children. The governess should expect regular domestic and international travel during the school holidays and while a driver isn't essential, it would be a bonus. Note also that hours will increase during half terms and holidays. A professional demeanour, longevity in roles, and a real love for children and for engaging, supporting and nurturing their development is a priority. French or Polish speaking candidates would be welcomed, and a background in education and familiarity with tutoring would be appreciated.
